First Day At School” is an excellent example of such a poem. He places himself inside the head of a young child who has just been dropped off by his mother in the playground of a city school on hisvery first day.

The child has clearly been told what

The alarm clock went “ding….ding… ding.” I woke pretending I couldn’t hear it‚ because I didn’t want to get up. My mom was yelling at my sister and me‚ “Get up girls it’s time to go school.” I didn’t understand why she was so excited.

I was scared. My sister and I got ready‚ but we were not happy. We knew

My first day at College Sahara. My first day at college is a memorable day in my life. I had been earnestly waiting for that day for a long time‚ because I heard many things about college education from my elder brother and neighbors who were college students. I started feeling that they had the advantage of moving about with an air of superiority. At last the long-sought day came and it was the 20th of July‚ 2002. A new pulsation began to urge me since morning to start for the place where the

The thought of waking up early and going to school and not being with my mom all morning made me feel sick to

to expect your first day at a new college. You never quite know the people you’ll meet‚ or the overall vibe of the other students. I came to National Park College as a 28 year old. Recognizing that I’d more than likely be one of the oldest students in my classes‚ I didn’t really know how or if I would relate to the younger students (mostly 18 to 22 year olds). Would there be any commonality between myself and students around a decade younger? I’d soon find out. The first day of my Composition II
